One of the prizes is for peace... Everyone should be allowed in the interest of peace. Even if the invitees haven't been very peaceful.
Everyone should be allowed.. except countries currently actively invading one. Or currently enaged in warfare in general.
USA will never be invited again. Which is fair.
I think it's fine to invite them so long as they don't get any awards. Keeping an open dialogue is important in any conflict
Keeping an open dialogue is important. I can't help but feel that there are other ways of doing that.
I think I like this take the best. Glad you said this and that I saw it.
Eeehh the recipients haven't been very peaceful, really, and the novel peace Prize is a joke if you ask me.
Obama got one whilst his drones were bombing civilians.
Mother Theresa got one whilst being known to be a monster
Didn't henry kissit get one too?
Obama winning the Nobel Prize diminished to the level of a Pulitzer, an award named after the father of yellow journalism whose falsehoods started a war.
The NPP is awarded in Norway, not Sweden. Considering that the prize has been awarded to various Russian dissidents and Belarussian/Russian oppositional groups the past few years - and that Russia declared the 2021 winner a foreign agent, I'd say it's safe to assume no one from the their official governments will attend anytime soon.
Yea, everyone should be invited. It's not just for the peace prize, but even then..
Idk what's wrong with people.
